central.PA.bass Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Motor is a 1990.. Lookin for a used one or if anyone knows where I could get one cheap.. Heard it doesn't matter what pitch or whatver on a 1990 40hp Merc.. Quote
Team_Dougherty Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 It does matter what pitch you have. I have a 15" and a 17" pitch prop for my 40HP. My boat can not get out of its own way with the 17" with more than one person. With the 15" it is a different boat. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 what hub size? I might have one actually. Its a high pitch. It would be cheap too!! Quote

Not sure what the pitch of mine is.. the numbers on the prop are very difficult to read.. Quote
